Queen Elizabeth 'never' asked for recipes - but she made an exception for this indulgent dessert

Queen Elizabeth II attends the Out-Sourcing Inc. Royal Windsor Cup polo match and a carriage driving display by the British Driving Society at Guards Polo Club, Smith's Lawn on July 11, 2021.

Like so many people across the world, Queen Elizabeth reportedly had a major sweet tooth and her favourite treat of all was anything chocolate-based. Former royal chef Darren McGrady cooked for her for 11 years at Buckingham Palace and has described her as a "chocoholic".

According to him, dark chocolate was her go-to - "the darker, the better" - and her love of it was something her chefs apparently passed on whenever she was invited for dinner. Opening up in a recipe video on his YouTube channel, Darren recalled a trip with Queen Elizabeth to Australia where she was introduced to her "perfect dessert".
